The Geothermal Aquaponics Greenhouse Project:

The geothermal aqauponics greenhouse project is a concept designed to integrate renewable geothermal resources with one of the most effective forms of agriculture; aquaponics. This design utilizes a geodesic greenhouse, and is based upon proven system perimeters. This system is a hybrid of the infamous UVI system, and utilizes multiple hydroponic techniques in addition to vertical space to maximize production of both fish and produce in an extremely small footprint. A 42 foot diameter, 1300 square foot dome is estimated to produce over 5200 pounds of tilapia and 5500 pounds of produce annually, or production could be doubled in a 56 ft diameter greenhouse dome. Domes are extremely efficient at retaining heat, and the prototype of the project is engineered to be heated exclusively with geothermal water in a cold, high altitude climate; the mountains of Colorado. This project would be the first to demonstate economic viability of aquaponics in cool climates, and provides a model for sustainable, ecologically resposible, and local food production that can be replicated throught the world.
